Why?
Because you need to learn a fundamental, functional pelvic floor exam before we get into the weeds.
For us that means
- range
- coordination
- strength
- palpation
- in supine AND standing
There’s lots of little intricacies for the exam that you can learn. But FIRST you need a foundation.
You need to be Monday Morning Ready and know what to do when that first pelvic patient walks in your door

I had a pelvic physio tell a client the other day she shouldnt be lifting heavy as its the worst thing for her pelvic floor. I am so sick of *alot* not all physios lacking knowledge around strength sports and just telling atheltes to stop lifting altogether. I love your content, I hope more people see it and stop fearing lifting heavy.

Have seen three (maybe four) pelvic floor physios and four urogynaecologists in the UK and never had a standing exam. It’s impossible to find someone who does them.

Wish apta would teach this in the level 1 labs! I had to put on my big girl pants and just do it on patients without practicing! @aptapelvic

🙌 yes 1000% I start all my patient in bed as baseline and progress to staying and assessing in movements that mimic their symptoms. We get creative!!
